Good morning Friends and Family!
I hope your first day out of the blocks was great and you
are off to a great start for day two. If
you are like me, one of your most fervent desires is to live a life that is
pleasing in the eyes of God. Well, in
Psalm 19, David provides the one of the most important secrets to living
clean—our willingness to internalize the Word of God. In a later division of Psalm (Psalm 119:9), David
actually asks the question: “how can a
young man live clean?” He then responds
with the answer: “by taking heed to Your word.”
Friend, the most effective way to live clean is to internalize the Word
of God. We should read it, listen to it,
study and dissect it, meditate on it, and live it. It offers revelation we can find now where
else.
As we navigate the second day of the fast, let us examine
ourselves and make it our aim to live clean lives before the King.
For your meditation, please consider David’s words in Psalm
19:7-10 and 14: “The law of the Lord if perfect,
converting the soul: the testimony of the Lord is sure making wise the simple;
the statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the
Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring
forever; the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether, more to
be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; sweeter also than
honey and the honeycomb…let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my
heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength (rock) and Redeemer.”
In Him,
Bishop Izzard
